Union Home Minister Amit Shah has advocated for the rationalisation of voter numbers in Lok Sabha constituencies, stating that Members of Parliament (MPs) from areas with large electorates struggle to address their constituents' needs. During a session in the Lok Sabha, Shah pointed to Malkajgiri in Telangana, which has over 37.80 lakh voters, as an example of a constituency where MPs cannot adequately cater to such a large population. The Election Commission's data for the upcoming 2024 Lok Sabha polls reveals five constituencies, including West Delhi and Bangalore North, with more than 20 lakh voters each. In contrast, areas like Lakshadweep have only 58,000 voters. Shah argued that delimitation, the process of redrawing constituency boundaries, is essential for implementing the proposed 33% women's reservation in legislatures by 2029. He noted that the current limit of 550 Lok Sabha seats, established in 1976, needs to be increased to 850 to ensure fair representation for India's population, which has grown from 54 crore in 1971 to 140 crore today.
